- This was done by Smiths, who shod horses, ass, cars made sales etc.
One man named McHinchey, who is 74 years old and is blind was a smith and his father, John, before him. This man has given much information in this Collection of bealoideas.
There was another smith named Pat Ryan whose father before him worked at the trade and now the third generation is working at it his son Jack Ryan.
